The weather was beautiful when I woke up, so I hurried to get ready and have breakfast. A nice fresh waffle with syrup and cinnamon sugar is the perfect start to the day ;). I loaded up the bike and set of towards Yellowstone. As soon as I turned of the Interstate, the scenery turned to stunningly beautiful. It was awesome to follow the Yellowstone river into the park.
Thanks to one of the bikers that was at Buffalo Chip, I already had my entry ticket (that I transferred to an Aussie staying in the Super 8 in Pocatello). The park is gorgeous despite the huge amount of trees that are dead and fallen over. I loved the geysers and hot springs and all the mineral deposits. The riding through the park was awesome and I would love to take some time hiking in it when I get a chance ;)
After the park I rode for another few hours and arrived in Pocatello Idaho around 7 in the evening. Checked in and went for a very sumptuous dinner in the restaurant next door ;) I have now sufficiently compensated for my lack of food the days before.
The last bit of the trip the Idaho landscape turned into a flat and dull landscape. I definitely left the beautiful hills around Yellowstone. The 100 to 150 km around Yellowstone were awesome.
The boys from Oz (report from Chris by phone evening 6 August 2007 around 21.30 – 22.00)
Lards made himself a legend by doing a big burn out in the Arena at 2 in the morning that eventually resulted in his tyre blowing out on the way to Sturgis the next morning. Apparently he set the grass on fire!!
The boys had to fit the new tyre themselves as the tyre place couldn’t do it and that was after the tyre could only be delivered at the end of the day. So they left the Buffalo Chip around 9 in the morning but didn’t get very far. Oh and they also had plenty of rain (I didn’t get a single drop till late in the evening).
Chris also told me about the Poison show at the Buffalo Chip that was “applauded” with hundreds of bikes being revved to the max !!! These petrolheads are just completely of their rocker by the sounds of it !! Imagine the amount of exhaust fumes in the air and the amount of petrol just gone for nothing (that means more work for us offshore blokes ;)
The boys are in Wheatland Wyoming to meet with a copper that is going to make them chilli, apparently Craig met him on an earlier trip and invited them for the chilli cook out ;)
The film crew also met a cyclist on a trip through the US on a push bike / bicycle. The poor guy (described as very tall and thinner then Chris ;) was dead on his feet as far as the boys reckoned. They gave him some of the cold Gatorade from the eski / cooler and filmed him and talked to him. Awesome dude, keep going !!!
